This is a collaborative effort between the CRMA and local artists to reach and teach non-artists about the artistic processes. Come learn from the pros, see how work is done and what it really takes to make great art. You are sure to discover 'hidden treasures' among local artists who are creating truly amazing art. Come see some of their work and hear just how they do it!

Naser and Patricia work well as a team. The couple uses their artistic diversity to create realistic representations of their subjects. Naser greatly admires nature and architectural landmarks and portrays this upon his canvas using rich choices of colors. The art of Patricia illustrates her passions for floral, still-life, and portraiture.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the Community Fund of The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
